Parole differs from probation in that parolees, unlike probationers, have been incarcerated. Parole supported the concept of indeterminate sentencing, which held that a prisoner could earn early release through good behavior and self-imprisonment.

∙ 12y agoParole is when a person has been released from prison after serving a portion of their sentence.
Probation is a punishment given instead of jail time, so that the person can be monitored.

∙ 14y agoIf you are over the age of 17 and have been convicted of an offense, your sentence could include probation. Probation allows you to live in your town as long as you follow certain rules set by the court. If any of the rules are broken, the judge may re-sentence you for the original offense. Parole is when you may be released from prison before the sentence has been completed, and serve the remainder of your term in the community. They both give you a chance to serve part of a sentence in your own community, however the court does not have to give either option to you if they do not believe you deserve it.

∙ 12y agoIn both cases, you are issued a set of guidelines by either the court (probation) or the parole board (if on parole) with which you must comply and conduct your life. The regulations are enforced by Probation and Parole Officers whose sole purpose is to monitor and conduct random checks of the "clients' assigned to them. If the "clients" are found to be in violation, (depending on the jurisdiction involved) they can either summarily arrest them for the illegal behavior, or report the clients actions, upon which either the court or the parole board will take action to revoke the clients status.

∙ 12y agoI'm not exactly sure what you are specifically asking as far as the requirements/education of a parole officer versus a probation officer, but I hope my answer will help. A parole officer is assigned to a person who has been state-sentenced, meaning that the inmate/prisoner has done prison time. A probation officer is assigned to a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony but is not state-sentenced (not sent to prison). They may have served time in the County jail, or may have just been sentenced to probation with no jail time. A person who is on parole HAS to go through the prison system and the parole board in each state is who determines if the inmate/prisoner would be a good qualifier for parole or not. Hope this helps!

∙ 12y agoProbation is a term of supervision ordered by the Court after a plea or finding of guilt. Probation can be revoked for violations and a sentence of incarceration of 1 year or less ordered in jail for misdemeanors. For felonies if revoked a sentence of incarceration for one year or less in jail or a sentence of 1 or more years in State prison may be ordered. Parole is served after someone is released from State prison and they have time remaining on their sentence. They would be on parole for the remainder of their sentence. If parole is revoked the offender is returned to prison to serve some more time or the remainder of their time before again being released. Probation conditions and Parole conditions are pretty much the same.

∙ 12y agoNo. Probation refers to time that a person is "watched" instead of incarcerated. Parole means the person was released early from their confinement.

How is the enforcement of criminal law a factor in determining who is subjected to probation and parole?
In theory, the possibility of parole or probation is an element of motivating rehabilitation.In reality there is no correlation between enforcement of law and the granting of probation or parole. In reality probation is largely granted as a means of moderating the court calendar, and parole is granted on almost an entirely arbitrary basis, but with some attention to prison/facility census.

Can you leave the country if you are on probation for a punishment lower than a misdemeanor?
That would depend on the conditions you must follow according to the terms of your parole/probation you entered into for whatever reason. If your parole/probation agreement said that you were not to leave the country, then it would be a violation of the agreement if you were to do so. They could violate/terminate the parole/probation and file charge(s) against you for violating the parole/probation agreement. Your best bet is to contact your assigned parole/probation officer and get a written statement (signed) from them with the determination of whether you can leave the country without violating your parole/probation agreement. Written proof is the best way to cover your neck, just in case they say you left without first asking them, if it was all right to leave the country without violating your parole/probation agreement.
